Seeds are in the dried flower. They can be thoroughly dried and split to collect the tiny seeds. Finches love the seed so if you want to harvest some protect them by placing panty hose material over.

Sun-lovers look fantastic in late summer/fall.

Unlike annual sunflowers, the Maximillian sets its blooms along the stalk.

A neighbor's maximillian sunflower. It is tied to the fence but is obviously poorly sited.

These guys are ten years old! They shrank down for a few years, but with a few wet, cool springs, they've bounced right back.
